The only real reason to resurrect the SF-BG shuttle would be to provide a transfer between the 4/5 at Bowling Green and the 1 and R (late night N) at South Ferry/Whitehall St. The other way to do that would be to construct a transfer passage under the north end of Whitehall St. between the Stone St. entrance of the Whitehall St. station and the below-the-platforms mezzanine of Bowling Green. But that would require a lot of work, such as relocation of utility lines, while the shuttle platform is there and just needs to be opened. Can it fit three cars?I can't see them extending the 6 to SF; if the shuttle reopened, it would run as a shuttle 24/7. All this, of course, presupposes that the 1 will be returned to the "new" SF station. Is the MTA even still working on reopening that? Or have they basically written it off as a loss, with the intention of keeping the current arrangement at South Ferry permanent, at least for the foreseeable future? |
